"We would be lining up to use this gel imager, but it works fast enough that no one needs to wait. The Chemidoc imager's software is pretty intuitive, so there is no search for arcane commands. Most functions are programmed, including the best one- taking pictures of unstained (Protean) gels. Pictures are clear, and we generally only need to take one photo per gel. We love this system. It is pricey, but we are saving some money on gels and stains."

"Sales service is excellent but, in my experience, the system does break down and a call to service is required. Can be used for a variety of molecules, DNA, RNA and protein but changing settings can be cumbersome. I would not recommend it for multiple users."

Description

The ChemiDoc MP system is a full-feature instrument for gel or western blot imaging.

It is designed to address multiplex fluorescent western blotting, chemiluminescence detection, and general gel documentation applications. Its features are based on CCD high-resolution, high-sensitivity detection technology, and modular options to accommodate a wide range of samples and support multiple detection methods.

The system is controlled by Image Lab™ software to optimize performance for fast, integrated, and automated image capture and analysis of various samples.

Features and Benefits:

Multiple imaging capabilities — the ChemiDoc MP imager can accommodate a variety of sample types and detection methods including multiplex fluorescent western blotting. It is the perfect imager to accompany your protein and DNA electrophoresis runs as well as your western blotting experiments. It delivers quantitative, reproducible results for fluorescence, chemiluminescence, and colorimetric detection

Stain-free technology — UV-induced fluorescence labeling of proteins in the stain-free gels allows a 2 hr Coomassie gel-staining protocol to be condensed into a 5 min stain-and-image step. Stain-free gels are western blot compatible — using the V3 Western Workflow™, check your electrophoresis results and blot transfer quality prior to western blotting

High-sensitivity blot detection — the ChemiDoc MP imaging system offers advanced detection technology that determines optimal exposure, even for faint or intense samples. Superior sensitivity is achieved for chemiluminescence and multiplex fluorescence detection and for colorimetric gel and blot documentation

Superior Image Quality — Exceptional dynamic range enables visualization of faint and intense bands on same blot or gel. Images are always in focus at any zoom level to ensure publication-ready images in seconds.

Ease of Use — precalibrated system provides the precise focus for any zoom setting or sample height; automated hands-free operation ensures consistent, reproducible, and high-throughput performance
